Does the ESC key not do it? On phone at the mo so can't check it
8 years using SU almost everyday, I have never tried that, I thought I'd had all the needed hot keys programmed on my 3D navigator, so ESC was never considered. I feel like an idiot, need to demote myself to beginner status.

fwiw, on mac, esc doesn't clear a selection(s)..
it's cmmd-A for select all & shift-cmmd-A for deselect all

really? that's strange.
do you use an english keyboard? or- i wonder what else may be the reason why ESC deselects for you and not me? -
AZERTY, do you think this could make a difference?

Esc does work and I use it often... But something to exit out of all groups and unselect everything back to the top of the model hierarchy would be nice.

It does not work with some tools when they are active.

This works like a charm.

Crap... another context menu item... I'm already having spanning issues on my context menu. Oh well, one more to add to the party. Thanks Massimo.

not sure.. i guess a few more mac users would have to try it to see..
also, i wonder if everyone in the thread is talking about the same thing and i might of replied too quickly prior to fully understanding the question.are we talking about exiting groups or un-selecting selected items?
i'll read back through the thread a little later. -

I just use the key command for exit group... But you mean altogether out of all nested groups?
I would also like a command to be able to click on an object and have it open that objects group immediately, no mater how nested.

@jeff,
esc works on my iMac. but I have never used it...
I don't think it did on my mac book, so haven't tried it since...

Hi all,
I use ESC to exit components/groups i have no problem with that. I dont even need a function exit all, because its not that difficult to hit esc four times to exit from the nested group. And even i thing it helps me to be aware on witch layer in the nest am I.
But still sometimes I loose track of things and i would like some visual clue. I know there is outliner and it serves this purpose well. But it gets messy sometimes and for good orientation takes a lot of my screen space. I would like something illustrator has. see attachment.
what do you think?T.

Sure if all components are named "Component"!
Have you been looking at my models again Pilou?

Funny how people can be talking about the same thing and not notice.

Paste this into a file with the .rb extension in your plugins folder.

Engineering x-keys keyboard and now I can back out from within any group/component with one key. Sure beats pecking at the Escape key
Thank you very much
